Navigating in the File Transfer box

The Tab key (➙ ❘) will move you from one <field> to the next, in sequence. Shift+Tab takes you back a step.

The <Dirs/Drives> area shows you other drives that can be accessed. Use the ↑↓↓ arrows and press to select the drive or directory you want.

"Sliders" on the side of the box give you an indication of where you are in the complete list.

". ." takes you to the parent directory.

"." Returns you to the current directory File box.

The <Files> area shows you the filenames that are already used in that directory. Use the ↑↓↓ or ←→ → arrows to view the complete file listing.

You can't select or change these filenames here - they are listed so that you can see what files you already have. Specifying the filename you want to save is done in the next steps on the Workabout. Don't worry about over-writing an existing file, you will be warned if this is about to happen.

You can quit this process at any stage by pressing Esc on your PC, or by selecting <Cancel> and .

When satisfied with your choice of directory, select <Receive> and press . A "Waiting for Data . . " message will appear in the files box.

Now move back to the Workabout for the final stage.

Initiating the file transfer from the Workabout

With SunData running in the Workabout:

Press Menu, File, File Transfer, Enter

or (+R), for the file transfer dialog box.

You will be prompted with the current data file Name and Disk, but you could choose any data file in the Workabout by following the on-screen prompts. For this example we will continue with the A:\Data.prn file illustrated.

Now is your chance to specify the filename you want the file saved as. If you are happy with the send file Name, then leave the save as showing ..

If you want to change the name, use the ↑↓↓ arrows to select save as, and type in your preferred filename.

Press Enter.
